I reguarly come across ads for Wulong tea so I decided to look a little closer at it. It turns out it's known as Oolong tea as well and has several significant health benefits. If you are looking to find out the benefits of Oolong or Wulong tea, you can find a wealth of information online as well as a fair bit of hype.
Oolong Tea
Wulong tea is also known as oolong tea and is reported to have many health benefits including that of slimming effects. Wulong tea is in the same family as black and green teas but is reported to have a level of fermentation that provides excellent fat burning potential.
In the quest for eating foods and drinking liquids that increase your metabolism it’s worthwhile to note that some teas also provide significant health benefits such as high antioxidant levels. Green tea, white tea and WuLong or Oolong tea are said to be helpful in many ways. White tea can help with bacteria such as Strep as well as provide aid in preventing dental cavities. Oolong is said to help with the regulation of blood glucose levels and help you have a glowing complexion.
Why do you need antioxidants?
Antioxidants can actually reverse the aging process and fight free radicals or cancer causing agents. You can get antioxidants from many foods and beverages including foods like blueberries, the Goji berry and from green tea, white tea and oolong tea.
In terms of negative effects of Wulong tea, there is a high caffeine content so it might be wise to watch your intake and be sure you pay attention to any symptoms or signs of caffeine excess such as jitters or heart palpitations. Instead of drinking it in addition to your daily coffee, you might want to have your Wu-Long in the morning instead of coffee.
Anything that impacts your metabolism must be carefully considered when taking any medication. Much like the grapefruit diet isn’t recommended for someone on essential medication for heart, blood pressure and other medical issues, because Wulong can impact your metabolic rate you need to talk to your doctor or pharmacist about taking it when you are taking prescription drugs.
